Okay so even though this is a fairly straight forward job. I'll post a how to any way. This is how you install a nismo fuel pump.

Before you do anything please make sure your battery is disconnected your fuel lid open and you have at the most a quarter tank of fuel.

Your pump access is located on the rear right side under your parcel shelf in the boot. It is covered by a panel with screws

Undo screws disconnect all sensor clips and make sure you have plenty of rags handy or a oil tray to collect fuel from fuel lines.

To get the black cap off use a plastic screwdriver and a rubber mallet to turn it anti clockwise. Use 5/10 force. Make sure you make a rough mark as to where the black cap started. There is an arrow on the white plastic that shows where the mark needs to be tightened to

Remove cap. Pry open plastic cover and remove rubber lining. Remove hose connections underneath cover

To remove fuel pump. Gently pull up. It is located just behind right rear passenger seat against the wall. It is not bolted on. It uses a hook latch system

Here is a comparison. The stock pump on the right is actually closer to the camera making it appear larger but it is in fact tiny compared to the Nismo.

The Nismo bracket clicks into the existing plastic housing. Feed the filter element in first making sure it makes its way lower and deeper into the fuel tank.

It will take you a few tries to mount the Nismo. Make sure it has clicked into the plastic bracket and that you haven't just fit it in between the bracket and the wall of the car. The pump should sit straight and not move.

Connect all hoses and mountings. Change fuel filter. Re attach battery. Place car on On then start vehicle.

After driving along all day you can just hear the pleasant whirring of the Nismo pump. It is in no way loud or audible inside the cabin. Highly recommended. Fuel pump and filter was done at 81000kms

Um good question. At this level of modifying i didn't feel the need to. The pump itself was a sizeable upgrade to stock. You can do it if you want to im sure you would get a higher voltage/efficiency.

Makes sense. Thinking about doing similar mods - currently in planning phase :)

Keep 'em coming.

I believe the Nismo pump is designed to run with the lower voltage that the pump speed controller supplies them with. The issue with aftermarket pumps like Bosch and Walbro is they are designed to work at 14v and they struggle with lower voltage.

So Yeh, shouldn't need to rewire for the Nismo.

Yeah mine has a mind of its own. After the pump, injector, fuel filter and spark replacement my car seems to be running better and it does feel like it pulls a bit better. But it's ducking fuel like no tomorrow. I'm desperately in need of a tune.

Nice build mate. Red is the fastest colour besides blue ;) That 200kw mark the neo will S$%T it in. My 33 just had the turbo hi flowed and a 355kw AEM fuel pump put in. On stock ECU, Injectors, with 3 inch exhaust and 10psi made 195kw @ the wheels :) and 98BP ultimate fuel :P Oh and she has 200,000km so with those mods your looking at my mate had a similar in his GTT and made 235ish :)

Keep up the good work.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
